Power of SQL

dotConnect for SugarCRM allows you to perform
SQL queries against your SugarCRM data. Use SQL statements to work with SugarCRM accounts, contacts, leads, contracts, products, campaigns opportunities, and
other objects.

Our provider offers full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) support and allows
you to get SugarCRM data with SELECT statements and manage data with INSERT,
UPDATE, and DELETE statements.

No need to study and use complex SugarCRM API, just use familiar SQL statements.
You may use complex JOINs, WHERE conditions, etc. - all the SQL benefits, not available
with SugarCRM API.

Entity Framework Support

dotConnect for SugarCRM allows you to access SugarCRM data via Entity Framework -
Microsoft's recommended data access technology. It supports Entity Framework v4, v5, v6, and Entity Framework Core,
and enables you to use the following Entity Framework features with SugarCRM data:

LINQ to Entities (no need for SugarCRM API)

Entity relations with lazy/eager loading

No need to post each edited/created object separately - a single SaveChanges() call
to persist all the changed objects

How it Works

Advanced Queries

Simple Queries

More complex queries are split in parts, and parts of query are executed against SugarCRM

Simple queries are directly compiled to SugarCRM calls

Our local SQL engine processes the results and applies advanced SQL features, used in the query

These API calls are executed on SugarCRM side providing the best performance

Returned data are passed to the application

dotConnect for SugarCRM offers powerful local SQL engine for SELECT statement
execution. It executes SQL statements in the following way:

Simple SQL statements are translated to SugarCRM API calls and executed on the
SugarCRM side directly. However, dotConnect for SugarCRM also supports more
advanced SQL features, such as SQL functions or expressions, complex WHERE conditions,
joins, etc.

If you use these more advanced SQL features, dotConnect for SugarCRM queries all
the data from the objects that participate in the query, and executes the statement locally.
